Anger over children's debit cards

Lloyds TSB has sent debit cards to thousands of children without telling their parents, and therefore they received a lot of criticism.
These cards empower children to buy everything they want online without their family's permission, which made consumer groups and parents furious.
Furthermore, Lloyds recently offered Visa cards to youngsters and although the bank claims that they have included a guide for parents, evidence of their ignorance is present and alarming. However, Lloyds asserts to be able to block the card immediately if children try to use gambling sites or sites containing ‘adult material’.

Good flow and clear use of linking words. Good use of subjects for creating flow!
